Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic radio frequency, in particular to a radio frequency power amplifier board with high heat dissipation efficiency. Background Art
[0002] Current RF power amplifier board designs utilize magnetic rings and twisted-pair cables. While these are not a major issue for low-power RF power amplifier boards, the increasing demand for RF power across various industries has necessitated the need for high-power RF power supplies. High-power RF power supplies require high-power amplifier boards, and the twisted-pair cables and magnetic rings on these boards generate significantly more heat as power increases, creating a bottleneck that limits the ability to achieve high-power RF power.
[0003] To address the high heat generation from twisted-pair cables and magnetic rings, current RF power amplifier board designs typically incorporate fans that blow air across the magnetic rings and twisted-pair cables to accelerate heat dissipation. However, air cooling has its limits, and the twisted-pair cables, threaded through the magnetic rings, are shielded from airflow. Consequently, high-power RF power amplifier boards continue to face heat dissipation challenges. Furthermore, high-power RF power amplifier boards require thicker and longer twisted-pair cables, which necessitate larger magnetic rings to pass through. This significantly increases the size of the magnetic rings, and thus the size of the amplifier board. With the increasing demand for miniaturization and high power density, addressing heat dissipation requires addressing size issues as well. Utility Model Content

[0006] A first power amplifier board, a second power amplifier board, and a magnetic ring backing plate arranged between the first power amplifier board and the second power amplifier board;
[0007] The magnetic ring backing plate is provided with copper tube printed boards on both sides close to the first power amplifier board and the second power amplifier board. The copper tube printed boards are provided with through holes for accommodating the passage of wires. The two ends of the wires are joined and welded to the second power amplifier board after passing through the through holes of the copper tube printed boards.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0016] The present invention uses a conductive wire that transfers heat to a copper tube, which in turn transfers heat to a magnetic ring. The magnetic ring then conducts heat to a water-cooled plate via a magnetic ring backing plate and a magnetic ring cover. This solves the problem of excessive heat generation by the conductive wire and the magnetic ring, separates the power supply circuit from the amplifier circuit board, and reduces the size of the amplifier board. The copper tube acts as half of the conductive wire, reducing the size of the inner hole of the magnetic ring occupied by the conductive wire, reducing the size of the magnetic ring, and further reducing the size of the amplifier board, achieving rapid heat dissipation for the entire board. This also improves the power and power density of the RF power amplifier board. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structural layout of a radio frequency power amplifier board in a common prior art. Currently, there are problems such as the twisted pair cable taking up a large space in the magnetic ring 22, poor heat dissipation of the magnetic ring 22 and the twisted pair cable, and the integration of the power supply circuit and the amplifier board circuit. The amplifier board is large in size, and the spacing between the power divider and the synthesizer ports will increase, making the entire amplifier unit very large.
[0038] To do this, see Figure 2-Figure 6This embodiment provides a radio frequency power amplifier board with high heat dissipation efficiency, comprising: a first power amplifier board 11, a second power amplifier board 12, and a magnetic ring backing plate 2 disposed between the first power amplifier board 11 and the second power amplifier board 12; the magnetic ring backing plate 2 is provided with a copper tube printed circuit board 24 on both sides near the first power amplifier board 11 and the second power amplifier board 12, and the copper tube printed circuit board 24 has a through hole for accommodating a wire 3 to pass through. After passing through the through hole of the copper tube printed circuit board 24, the two ends of the wire 3 are joined and welded to the second power amplifier board 12; wherein, the portion of the wire 3 located on the magnetic ring backing plate 2 is sheathed with a copper tube 23, and the outer side of the copper tube 23 is sheathed with a magnetic ring 22; and further comprising a magnetic ring cover 21 that cooperates with the magnetic ring backing plate 2, the magnetic ring cover 21 being used to cover the magnetic ring 22 and forming a covering and fixing to the magnetic ring backing plate 2. As an optional embodiment, a power amplifier tube 111 is provided on the first power amplifier board 11.
[0039] In the above-described scheme, the high-heat dissipation-efficiency RF power amplifier board provided in this embodiment is divided into several sections, namely, a first power amplifier board 11 and a second power amplifier board 12, for easy removal and replacement. Conventional RF power amplifier boards require multiple turns of twisted-pair wiring. The conductive copper tube 23 serves as half of the conductor 3 of the twisted-pair wiring. This allows only one wire to pass through the magnetic ring 22, thus halving the inner hole size of the magnetic ring 22 in this embodiment.
[0040] In this embodiment, a power supply board 121 is provided on the second power amplifier board 12, and two power supply boards 121 are symmetrically provided. The two power supply circuit boards installed vertically on both sides make full use of the upper space of the power amplifier circuit board and reduce the size of the power amplifier board. It should also be noted that when implementing this embodiment, the copper tube 23 is tightly fitted with the inner hole of the magnetic ring 22, and a high thermal conductivity thermal conductive silicone is filled between the wire 3 and the copper tube 23; and the magnetic ring pad 2 and the magnetic ring cover 21 are respectively provided with an arc groove that matches the outer diameter of the magnetic ring 22, and the space between the arc groove and the inner wall of the magnetic ring 22 is filled with silicone grease to increase the thermal conductivity efficiency.
[0041] Please refer again Figure 5 Conventional RF power amplifier boards require multiple twisted-pair connections. The copper tube 23 is conductive and serves as half the conductor 3 of the twisted-pair cable. This embodiment requires only a single wire to pass through the magnetic ring 22, allowing the inner hole size of the magnetic ring 22 to be halved. Furthermore, the two power supply circuit boards mounted vertically on either side fully utilize the space above the power amplifier circuit board, reducing the size of the power amplifier board.
[0042] Through the above scheme, the wire 3 of this embodiment transfers heat to the copper tube 23, the copper tube 23 transfers heat to the magnetic ring 22, and the magnetic ring 22 transfers heat to the water cooling plate through the magnetic ring pad 2 and the magnetic ring cover 21, thereby solving the problem of large amounts of heat generated by the wire 3 and the magnetic ring 22, and achieving rapid heat dissipation of the entire power amplifier board. At the same time, the power and power density of the RF power amplifier board are improved. By reducing the space occupied by the magnetic ring 22 by the wire 3, the size of the magnetic ring 22 can be reduced, thereby solving the heat dissipation problem of the twisted pair and the magnetic ring 22, and solving the problem of the large size of the power amplifier board. In addition, the space above the power amplifier circuit board components is fully utilized to independently power the circuit, reducing the size of the power amplifier, and ultimately increasing the power of the RF power amplifier board and improving the power density of the RF power amplifier board.

The scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims. Persons skilled in the art will appreciate that improvements and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications shall also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
